In the narrow iron cage, the prince's uniform on the little boy was already dirty and messy, but he looked at the people in the distance without saying a word, his face was expressionless, and he was indifferent like a child.

In the hall over there, a woman was being pressed to the ground, and she kept begging the man on the first seat, and her posture was so humble that she seemed to be about to descend into the dust.

But the man didn't let up.

The eunuch standing next to him stepped forward with a wine glass.

The woman shook her head in horror as she broke away from the men and ran in the direction of the cage.

However, before she could reach the front, she was crushed to the ground, and the eunuch pinched the woman's chin and poured the liquid from the wine glass into it.

During the woman's struggle, the wine soaked her clothes and she was embarrassed. She held out her hand to the little boy, her eyes full of despair.

The eunuchs holding him down let go of her, and the woman struggled to climb to the edge of the cage.

She clutched the cage with a pale face, blood kept spilling from the corners of her mouth, and she struggled to squeeze out a few broken words, "Live...... Stay alive. ”

Qi Yuan opened his eyes violently, his chest rose and fell rapidly, his gaze swept from the dark hall, and he reached out to the side, his warm body made his tense nerves gradually relax.

He leaned over and took the man into his arms, a little desperately looking for her taste, her breath, her everything.

Shi Sheng was kissed in a daze, and asked vaguely, "What's wrong?" ”

In response to her, he kissed more intensely, his movements were a little brutal, Shi Sheng was completely sleepy, and was forced to toss in bed with him until dawn.

Afterwards, Qi Yuan hugged her and fell asleep, perhaps because she was tired and slept very deeply.

He went back to that dream, but now he didn't feel the same feeling before, and he felt a sense of peace.

In the dream, the woman fell in front of him, her eyes widened, and she was dead.

He saw the woman being dragged away and placed in the middle in a strange position, and there were several people dressed as charlatans standing on the periphery, and they were muttering something around the woman.

After that, the eunuchs and palace maids left, and the man also left, and he glanced over here, with a very indifferent look.

And then there was the fire, the boundless fire.

He curled up in an iron cage, the chains on his body becoming hot as the temperature rose, and he heard the sound of his skin cracking.

He didn't remember how he left, only that when he woke up, he was already outside the palace, and the person who rescued him claimed to be his shadow guard.

And he was covered in bandages and could barely walk.

During that time, he could only spend time in bed, and the people who took care of him did not say much, changing his medicine and delivering food to him every day.

Never tell him about the situation outside.

It wasn't until he got better that someone taught him martial arts, studying, and even national events.

He stayed in that place for five years, and after five years, someone from the palace came and took him back to the palace.

He was very familiar with the palace, but when he entered the palace, he found that these people no longer called him the sixth prince, but the third prince.

The third prince who has been praised as a genius since he was a child, is the most loved by the emperor, and intends to be the prince.

Maybe it was because he knew he wouldn't say much, and even in that case, his shadow guard didn't tell him in advance.

It wasn't until he settled down in the palace that he knew that the third prince was suffering from a stubborn illness a year ago and was sent away for treatment, and the third prince had died, so he had the opportunity to replace the third prince into the palace.

But he understood that all this was arranged by them, and his appearance was ruined in that fire, and the appearance of the third prince was also ruined because of illness.

There are not so many coincidences, they all arranged it.

"Why?" For the first time, he took the initiative to ask the people who took care of him.

The man was stunned and knelt down slowly, "Your Highness, you have a deep blood vendetta, and your task is to take revenge. ”

"What about the third prince?"

"Dead."

"How did you die?"

"Death." The shadow guard replied as if he had been trained in advance.

He did not believe.

Since then, he has fallen more like fallen into a huge conspiracy, and the number of people around him has gradually increased, and he must imitate the temperament and habits of the three princes according to what they say.

Once he doesn't do it well, it will soon reach the shadow guard, and he will be brainwashed by the shadow guard at night.

said how his mother was framed and how the foreigners were killed.

His mother was framed by the three princes, and the emperor mistakenly believed the Taoist slander, saying that his mother was the reincarnation of the fox demon, and he would subvert his dynasty.

The most intolerable thing for the emperor to happen was that kind of thing happened, so there was that fire, and even his mother's foreign clan was not spared, and the whole house was destroyed.

At first he was angry, but after listening to it a lot, he became less angry, as if these people were deliberately provoking him and deliberately planting the seeds of hatred in his heart.

They want to make themselves a pawn, a pawn at their mercy.

There were people watching everywhere, and he had to be careful, he didn't know what forces were behind these people, but he believed that he would find out sooner or later.

The days in the palace are boring, but he walks on thin ice all day long, dealing with those who are watching, avoiding their surveillance, and forming his own forces.

He didn't want to be manipulated by them.

He endured it for many years, and finally the Xiqian Incident occurred.

The people outside didn't know what was going on, but he knew it.

His manipulators staged a coup d'état that day, but they missed the calculations.

The single family is loyal to the royal family, whoever is the emperor, they will be loyal to whom, and it will never change.

They also missed him, and by that time he had already used them to match and have his own power.

The death of the mother concubine was planned by this group of people, and he has found out clearly in the past few years.

The coup failed, everyone present at the time was beheaded, and the emperor remembered that he had saved the car and pardoned him for the crime of replacing the third prince, but he did not restore his status as the sixth prince.

For the emperor, the six princes are dead and become a thing of the past.

He is still the third prince.

After the Xiqian Incident, he still could not relax his vigilance. He knew that the power of those people had not been completely uprooted, and they had hidden themselves and waited for their chance.

In the Xiqian Incident, his martial arts were exhausted, and from then on he could only be an ordinary person, or even inferior to an ordinary person. Perhaps without the suppression of martial arts, the violence in his heart began to appear.

Everyone thought that the emperor might regret listening to the slander, so when he was critically ill, the next emperor fell on him.

However, he understood that no, what the emperor wanted to say at that time was to behead him, and it was he who used means to make it impossible for him to say the following words.

He only had time to say his name, so the minister who was waiting to write it next to him put his name on the decree.

After ascending the throne, he didn't have to be someone else.

Those who watched coldly and didn't save them when they saw death deserved to die.

And those who hide in the shadows, even more damned.

Qi Yuan hugged the person in his arms tightly, now that everything is settled, he has the best thing in the world.

used all the misfortunes in this life in exchange for his luckiest girl.
